NAB appoints leadership execs


Bank of New Zealand managing director and chief executive Anthony Healy has been appointed as the chief customer officer of National Australia Bank’s (NAB) business and private bank as part of recent changes to the big bank’s leadership team.
In addition to the appointment of Anthony Healy, NAB chief executive Andrew Thornburn said the bank had appointed its current chief customer officer of business and private banking, Angela Mentis as chief executive and managing director of Bank of New Zealand.
“NAB’s strategy is to become the most respected bank in Australia and New Zealand. This means being the best business bank in our Australian business, while continuing to drive growth of the New Zealand offering which resonates so well with its customers there,” said Healy of the job swap between Thornburn and Mentis.
“The leadership changes are a great opportunity for two of NAB’s talented executives to take our strategy forward.
“They are highly regarded by their customers and colleagues.”
The appointments, which remain subject to approval, will be effective from 1 January 2018.
